Saws still cut through fabric when it's against the floor

The IZH-18MN is typically fitted with a mount for scopes like the in-game hunting scope and the new sportpoint sights. I think it should be able to equip these sights, to make the weapon more useful than it currently is.

The FNX 45 was produced from 2012 onward, and the outbreak went global an unspecified amount of time after March 12th, 2013, according to Dean Hall. If you want the USP in the game, you're better off suggesting it standalone.

Sledgehammers and crowbars already break them open, a lot quicker than fists

These points are unrealistic and unnecessary. My fix would be to just add the RPK and 40rd magazines, to fix the balancing gap.

My internet timed out, so it posted twice. Sorry about that 🙁

This Suggestion Includes: 1. The RPK; the squad automatic weapon variant of the famous Kalashnikov rifle, known for its high range, damage retention, and control, at the cost of higher weight and length, designed to be used with higher-capacity magazines for maximum effectiveness. Taking KA-M magazines, the 7.62x39 variant weighs 4.8kg, sharing its damage stats and fire rate with the KA-M, but sharing its other primary stats with the VSD. (ref: WOBO.tools) 2. The RPK-74, fitted for using 5.45x39 ammunition. Taking KA-74 magazines, it weighs 4.7kg, sharing its damage and fire rate with the KA-74, but also sharing its other primary stats with the VSD. 3. New 40rd KA-M magazines, spawning in tier 4 and higher military loot. 7.62x39 RPK with a drum magazine (Heli Crashes, Military Convoys & Supply Crates) 7.62x39 RPK with a 40rd magazine (Tier 4 Military) 5.45x39 RPK-74 with a 45rd magazine (Tiers 3 & 4 Military) I think the RPK and the RPK-74 should get added because: 1. They fit the setting perfectly, and more-so than certain other weapons. 2. It's the best way to introduce the first LMG-style weapon to the game, since these aren't overpowered like some others are. Thank you for working hard with the game, devs ❤️

It should also have a negative effect on sway control and recoil stability, given the weight allocation. I disagree with the weapon jamming; we don't need more jamming for any gun in the game - the rates are already unrealistically high, for the most part.

Plz no xd

It would be fine, if DayZ were a more stable game

The outbreak is said to have occurred sometime after March 13th, 2013. While the USP 45 would be a welcome addition, the FNX 45 is not out of place, as it does fit the timeline.

Why not just add the Filtering Bottle to the other maps?

You haven't presented an actual reason, other than appealing to the game description without addressing the nuances. DayZ has many issues currently, and I know most of the playerbase would say difficulty regarding loot isn't one of them. The devs should focus on other things for now, like stability updates, gunplay and sound updates, etc., to at least make the game run better, and be more aesthetically realistic.

Then just give them all visible slings when they're on a player's back. It's not super complicated. No reason to make the game harder.

Why not just play from wherever you spawn at?

Older players will probably know what this is. This easter egg should get added into DayZ standalone; amplifying the ingame horror-mystery element would be really cool, and very fitting for a game like DayZ.

I'm pretty sure this is already in the game

The newer 1.27 experimental audio feels less immersive. The sound-to-distance ratio is unnecessarily off-putting to familiarize with, especially for headphone users. I'm not a fan of it. Thank you Bohemia for the other changes, though.

It would be a bit too much. Cosmetic slings when rifles are equipped to your back would be fine, imo, but I don't think DayZ in its current state needs this level of realistic item mechanics quite yet. I put game stability and new guns above suggestions like this.

The Baikal MP-153 is a 12 gauge gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun manufactured by Kalashnikov Concern (originally by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant) in Russia. It feeds from a 5-round tubular magazine below the barrel. I believe these would be fitting for the settings of Chernarus and Sakhal, and possibly Livonia. Ideally, they would spawn in tier 2 and tier 3 police stations and hunting cabins. It would be great for hunting and self-defense in these regions of the map.

Tier 3 is as high as I'll concede. This is by no means an overpowered weapon, to spawn in military areas. It's a hunting and a police shotgun.

Simple suggestion; not much to put in. I wanna see these pattern variants added, specifically to Livonia since we'll be getting more western military loot on Livonia, including the BDU and CUU outfits. Going further, also add the green and black plate carriers to Chernarus, if possible, since we still have Russian uniforms there that don't match well with the TTsKO or tan variants of the plate carrier. Suggestion examples below

The TTsKO camo pattern looks cooler and has more utility in a full uniform, and it would make combat clothing more sought after. So, I want to suggest adding a variant of the SSh-68 combat helmet with this cover on it, or just fully retexture the helmet, to make it fit in better with the rest of its uniform. I'll eventually also make a more fleshed out suggestion for further military clothing variety and matching, but this is probably the simplest one.
